Theory building is a highly creative activity. There is no road-map or standard model for you to follow – the process is individualized to the way your perceptions, your mind and imagination work. Still, some hints might stimulate your thinking. Consider the following:

o Recall your sense of how the textbook theories we have been considering are presented. Can any of them serve as a kind of general model for how a theory would look?

o Consider all of the “observation” statements you selected as the springboard into Stage Two. They focus more or less on a particular area of communication. Expand the list from your own experience. What other things have you noticed that would fall into the same category? Add descriptive sentences to the list.

o Think about the question you posed at the end of Stage Two. Don’t think so much about how you would answer the question, but rather imagine how you would explain what is going on behind it. Think of your theory as enveloping your question, rather than answering it.

o Reconsider all the thinking you did, as reflected in your Stage Two paper. What can you draw together to help us understand it all?
